2017 Goals

Dear Friends,

I have to be honest, not much happened to me, art-wise, in
2016. I allowed my personal life to take over my creative passion. There was no
focus, and I am the only one to blame. However, this makes me motivated, and I
want to do more in 2017. I have finally produced a list of goals for 2017.

Self-awareness.
I want to be self-aware of what inspires me, and acknowledge it. Sometimes if
you don’t take a moment to reflect the inspiration that presents itself, you
cannot become aware of the exact goal you want to achieve or the direction to
travel. I want to accept what inspires me, and live life to the fullest.

Don’t
get caught up with time.
There has been many times I have made plans, and tried to produce
deadlines to accomplish these plans. It is nice to have goals, but I know my
personal work always turns out better if I just go with the flow. However,
being lazy is not going with the flow, and I will make sure I am working hard
while achieving goals.

Reflection
after each month.
Each month, I want to reflect my accomplishments, even if there hasn't been tons. I will
acknowledge the positive, and use that to achieve more the following month.

Create
more.
I believe in my creative mind, and I want to create more art than I have
in the past few years. My mind is a waste if I don’t create.

Happiness.I don’t need to be successful to be happy. I choose to look forward to the
future, and let go of the past. True happiness can lead to more creative
adventures.

2016 is not the person I want to
be. Only I can make the changes to make myself truly happy. I can either sit on
my butt, or work at what I want to become. Through completion of goals, I
believe I can become a better artist who can also inspire others to create. Life
is short. Therefore, I plan on living my life to the fullest, and choosing
happiness.

Hope you live life to the fullest, and find what inspires you!

Best Regards,

Rebecca Tiano
